A minor success against the odds. Pumice Stone Passage

[Chas & Clarry]

We have not been fishing in the boat for 2 years (embarrassing) but got her out today for what we hope will be the first of many regular fishing expeditions in the Pummy Passage.

We started later than was ideal...our daughter, son in law and grandson visited for our traditional New Years Day pancakes, delicious without doubt BUT it meant we didn’t hit the water until about 1:15pm.

OMG...that is apparently a terrible time to be on this stretch of water on a public holiday. Boats and jet skis by the hundred, all having a great time but it was a bit insane to be honest.

None the less, we got alongside a few drop offs and weed banks and managed to pull in a couple of flatties on our brief fishing trip, before deciding that future expeditions will be at sun rise not mid day!!

Obviously this is not much to brag about BUT it felt so good to have a nice eating-size flatly on the 2kg line after so long not fishing.

Not a great photo (didn’t notice it was over-exposed when I took it).
